Drift churn with extensible attributes

[shadtimm]

Environment

• Python version: 3.9.13
• Nautobot version: 1.41
• nautobot-ssot-infoblox version: 0.7.2
• Infoblox WAPI 2.11

Expected Behavior

After initial Infoblox sync, a subsequent run comes back clean with no additional changes.

Observed Behavior

Consistent drift churn is seen for all records with extensible attributes as seen below:

- prefix
     ! 10.0.0.0/24
          + ext_attrs: {}
          - ext_attrs: {'vrf': '', 'role': '', 'site': '', 'tenant': ''}

...


- vlangroup
     ! default
          + ext_attrs: {}
          - ext_attrs: {'site': ''}

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run the job to sync initial data
2. Run the job again and see the drift churn

Thanks for filing this @shadtimm. I have an idea of what's causing this. Will work on addressing it.
